Last year, WRR reported that 3,877 tons of waste was sent to the landfill from NC State. “The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness,” said Analis Fulghum, education and outreach coordinator for WRR. “If we can get campus community to understand how often single-use cups are thrown away, we can help reduce the number.”
